She doesn't want to pretend anymore

"Who of you is going to take a shower first?"

Xi Shuangcheng took out two pairs of chopsticks.

"I'm helping in the kitchen today. It's not that hot. Xi Yue, why don't you go wash first?"

Manshu looked at Xi Yue.

Xi Yue nodded: "Okay."

Xi Yue carried the bag into the bathroom, and Manshu sat down to taste the braised pork and pork with preserved vegetables.

Fortunately, Xi Shuangcheng brought an extra bowl, so she ate all the dishes in her own bowl.

But Manshu had eaten a lot in the cafeteria and was not very hungry now.

"what about the taste?"

This was Xi Shuangcheng’s first time at the military training base, and he thought the cafeteria here was pretty good.

At least, it suits his taste better than the ones in Hong Kong.

Therefore, he often went out to eat in Hong Kong.

It was because of going out to eat that I got to know the proprietress of the private restaurant.

To this day, the story of his romantic affair with the proprietress of a private restaurant is still circulating in Hong Kong.

Little did he know that he and the proprietress Weng Lingyu were just trying to avoid some unnecessary trouble and each of them was getting what they wanted.

Weng Lingyu needed his protection, and he needed a woman like this to block the endless stream of romantic interests.

The atmosphere in Hong Kong regarding matters between men and women is more open than in the mainland, and even the level of marital fidelity is not as high as in the mainland.

Many people who have big houses in Hong Kong also like to raise children in the mainland.

Therefore, even though Xi Shuangcheng announced that he had a fiancée, he was unable to resist the enthusiasm of some people.

They didn't even mind letting their daughter and him start a family in Hong Kong City.

One in the mainland and one in Hong Kong, isn’t that great?

So he found Weng Lingyu to work with.

He acted as a backer for Weng Lingyu and blocked those who wanted to cause trouble for Weng's private kitchen.

And Weng Lingyu plays his confidante.

Weng Lingyu was beautiful and intellectual, and her cheongsam wrapped around her slender figure made her look so attractive.

The young ladies in Hong Kong who are prettier than her are not as intellectual as her, and those who are gentler than her do not have her charm.

Therefore, having such a "lover" can save you a lot of trouble.

However, thinking of the request made by Weng Lingyu before leaving, he shook his head again.

They were just playing around, but she wanted to make it real, which of course wasn't possible.

The few Chicheng he had in his life were all dedicated to the country.

Manshu didn't know what memories Xi Shuangcheng was lost in, so he just smiled and said, "It tastes pretty good, better than our school cafeteria."

"Then you should eat more. Xi Yue rarely eats midnight snacks, so I guess she can't eat much."

Xi Shuangcheng took such good care of Manshu, firstly because she was Qu Jiu's half-disciple, and secondly because she was Yan Zhan's fiancée.

But these are not the most important reasons. The most important reason is that under Manshu's persuasion, Yu Yin finally gave up Xi Yue.

She chose to marry the deputy minister.

Before getting married, she met Xi Shuangcheng one last time. It was also during that meeting that Yu Yin revealed that it was Yan Manshu's unintentional words that convinced her.

How can it be as prestigious to marry someone who will be promoted to a high position in power in the future as to marry someone who is already at the center of power now?

She wanted Xi Shuangcheng to have to bow his head whenever he saw her in the future.

It has to be said that Xi Shuangcheng's refusal aroused Yu Yin's ambition.

Of course, it is also possible that there are people around her who are bewitching her.

Marrying that deputy minister would indeed bring more benefits.

"Coach Xi was so nice to me all of a sudden. I would have thought there was arsenic in the meal."

Manshu ate two slices of braised pork with preserved vegetables and couldn't eat any more.

Although it is fatty but not greasy, and has a salty and fragrant taste, it does contain fat.

"Didn't I call you Brother Shuangcheng? Are you being so formal again? Or are you making fun of me?"

Xi Shuangcheng tapped his fingers twice on the table.
